The two stayed in a side-by-side battle for the lead for five laps and that’s when Slade took the lead. Caution was out early in this race, the first on lap five for contact between #3ish Travis Nylaan and #1 Brian Wiersma. Lake was right on Slade’s bumper on the restart, but Slade was able to pull away and by the next lap, all cars were single-file. #5 Cal Castle and #71 Kyle Ballard brought out the second caution of the night after contact in turn three resulted in a flat tire for Ballard. Slade continued to lead, but Lake and #10 Bob Spencer were not far behind.

MARNE, MI -- Whitecaps Racing Development and Mike Blackmer jointly announced today that the two parties have reached a tentative agreement to sell the racing operation to Blackmer, subject to Berlin Fairboard approval. Blackmer has signed a letter of intent to take over the racing operation of the historic track beginning in 2009.

Blackmer is a co-owner of Boyne Machine Company in Jenison and has been owner of the largest race team at Berlin Raceway with seven drivers in his stable, including 10-time track champion Fred Campbell, Brian Campbell and Terry Van Haitsma in the Coors Light Late Model division; Andrew and Travis Nylaan in the Engine Pro Super Stock division, and Jason Hoogerhyde and Ryan Meldrum in the De-Jay Slick Truck Pro Stock division. He is also owner of Brian Campbell's ASA race team. Blackmer plans to sell his race teams and equipment in order to move into this new venture of track ownership.

Blackmer has a long history at Berlin Raceway; he began attending as a fan back in 1987 when he moved to Grand Rapids at the age of 25. He raced in the Sportsman division in 1990 and 1991, finishing as high as 24th in Sportsman "A" points in 1991 (one position ahead of current Late Model great Tim DeVos), but soon realized that driving race cars wasn't for him. He joined Rusty Parker's Late Model crew in 1991 and continued to work with that team through the 2001 season, when Parker retired from racing as a driver. In 1994, Blackmer and Parker purchased Boyne Machine Company, and along with Rusty's brother Randy Parker, still own and operate that business today. Boyne Machine specializes in CNC milling and turning and is a top source of precision machining.

He built his first race team in 2003 with Andrew Nylaan as driver in the Sportsman division, and within two years had built the largest multi-team stable at Berlin.

The Whitecaps purchased Berlin Raceway from the Mysliwiec family, original operators of the track that was founded in 1951, following the 2000 season. Since then the Whitecaps have invested millions of dollars on the track infrastructure, including building new restrooms, a new sound system, new private party areas, new catch fence and outside wall for safety and other amenities to make Berlin Raceway not only the premier facility in the Midwest, but also the most fan-friendly.

Per the signed letter of intent, Whitecaps Racing will continue to manage the concessions and souvenir operations at Berlin Raceway on behalf of new owner Blackmer, who can then concentrate on the racing operations.

Scott Lane, president of Whitecaps Racing Development and Whitecaps Professional Baseball, said the move is a good fit for both the Whitecaps and Blackmer.

"We've come to realize that someone like Mike Blackmer, who has a thorough understanding of and passion for the sport of short track racing as well as a strong business background, will be able to run the racing operation more efficiently than us," Lane said. "Our administrative overhead is prohibitive to managing the racing end of the business in an efficient manner. Our forte is fan service in regards to food & beverage and souvenirs, and we're happy to provide this for Mike under the terms of the agreement."

Blackmer said owning Berlin Raceway is something he’s been wanting for years.

"Berlin has a great history as one of the most successful short tracks in the country," Blackmer said. "I've been a regular here for 25 years and I have a passion for this place. I was one of the bidders attempting to purchase it back in 2001 when the Whitecaps won the bid, and now the opportunity has come along again for me to purchase the racing business. I'll be taking over a very successful track, one that does not need to be rebuilt from the ground up because it’s already established as one of the best in the business. My job will be to keep the track going strong and to continue to change with the times.

"Lew (Chamberlin, CEO of Whitecaps Baseball and Whitecaps Racing) has admitted that the Whitecaps lacked experience in the racing business when they took the track over in 2001, but I believe that I do know this business and it fits me perfectly. This is a great opportunity for me, and I'm happy to have my partners at Boyne Machine, Rusty and Randy Parker, supporting me in this new venture."

For the first and only time, Three Finley's will compete together in
the Harvest 100 at Spartan Speedway.
By Team Finley Racing / M.P.H. Promotions

DeWitt, Michigan (Wednesday, August 27, 2008): History will be made at
the historic 1/4 mile semi-banked paved oval of Spartan Speedway,
located Southeast of Lansing in Mason, Michigan this Sunday, August
31, 2008.

The tracks annual Harvest 100 for Outlaw Bodied Super Late Models
traditionally held over the Labor Day Holiday Weekend, closes out the
racing season at "The Track the Stars Call Home."

The 25th edition of the Harvest 100, established in 1983, will see a
once in a lifetime event by a family who's name is synonymous with
racing in the Capital City. For the first and only time, three members
of the Finley Family will race together in one event at their home
track!

16-year-old Chad Finley will be racing along-side his Uncle Doug
Finley, that's been done before in Outlaw Bodied Super Late Models
competition at Spartan over the last two seasons.

But what makes this event so unique is that for the first and only
time, Chad's Father and Car Owner, Jeff Finley will also race this
weekend as the Five-Time Track Champion at the Mason, Michigan speed
plant with the most recent coming in 2003, will come out of retirement
for one race only and steer his son's #42 for the 100-lap Feature.

"It's been a long time since I've been behind the wheel," Jeff stated
as the former competitor in the ARCA RE/MAX Series prepares for the
weekend and will race for the first time since the 2005 racing season.
"I really enjoy watching Chad grow, so it makes it real easy for me
not to miss driving race cars."

"Chad has a tremendous amount of talent and if I were still racing, it
would only take time away from his program," The two-time Harvest 100
Winner continued. "This Sunday though, he and my Brother Doug will get
reintroduced to the old man." He smiled.

"If there was ever place for me to get back in a car its Spartan,"
Finley continued. "I grew up there as a kid with my folks so it's a
very special place for me. Great close side-by-side racing and you
really need good reflexes. Hope I still have them." The DeWitt,
Michigan legend added.

His son, Chad is ecstatic about the opportunity to race against his
Father as well as his Uncle in the same event and ironically will be
driving his Uncle Doug's back-up ride with the #29x across the doors
and carrying the Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Parts Stores and
Certified Service Centers colors.

"My dad is the best in my book. He has a knack that no one else has
and hopefully with him racing, I'll get a refresher course in the
first half of the race and give it back to him in the second half." He
predicted.

The DeWitt, Michigan teenager added; "He has taught me a lot and I've
been after him to come out and race me and to be able to show him what
I've learned and now I get the chance."

The 16-year-old, despite missing several weekly shows at Spartan due
to his ASA Late Model Series commitments, finished sixth in points
with one Feature Win. "Hopefully we all have good race cars and all
three of us can battle it out," The youngest Finley added.

"I don't plan on taking it easy on the old man either!" He laughed.
"Like he tells me all the time "Man up and get after it" so he better
practice what he has been preaching." He remarked.

The youngest Finley will be driving an unfamiliar number to his fans
as he'll steer Doug Finley's blue #29 which is his Uncle's back-up
ride. "I have always wanted to race with my Grandpa even though the
car I drive is his and based out of our race shop in DeWitt." He
explained.

"This will be a lot of fun for Gramps and I. Dad will drive the
familiar #42 car so he has no excuses at the end of the night." The
teenager ended.

Another two-time winner of the Harvest 100, Jeff's brother, Doug
Finley, an Eight-Time Track Champion at Spartan with the most recent
title coming in the 2007 season, will be behind the wheel of his
popular white #29 carrying primary sponsorship from the families
business, Northside Service, is just as excited about racing his
brother as his nephew is;

"This will be a great day for my folks. Mom and Dad have supported us
all over the years to make all of our accomplishment possible," Stated
the Lansing, Michigan veteran who finished fourth in the 2008 Final
Points Standings and picked up Two Feature Wins during the season.

"All three of us on the track at the same time; Wow, I can't wait!
Chad has come along way the last year and is a step away from putting
it all together week in and out, I enjoy racing with him." He continued

"Jeff has enjoyed a great deal of success over the years and there's
no doubt in anyone's mind he will be a contender, but make no mistake
though this is a big race to win and I have every intention of doing
so." "Uncle Doug ended.

The weekend for Team Finley Racing actually begins on Saturday, August
30, 2008 when the 16-year-old Finley will return to Super Pro Late
Model Series action and will race at the 3/8s mile high-banked paved
oval of Springport Motor Speedway, located just an hour South of the
race shop, in Springport, Michigan on Saturday, August 30th.

The running of the Lipari Foods 75 Presented by Teamtech Motorsports
will kick off the Labor Day Weekend for Chad. In his only other Super
Pro appearance, he shattered the track record and won the Feature
going away at Spartan Speedway back on July 18th.

Jeff Finley's Outlaw Bodied Super Late Model will carry the familiar
#42 that he's been associated with over the years. His car will have
the Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Parts Stores and Certified Service
Centers decals as well as the AutoPart2020.com colors for the Harvest
100.

In addition, more sponsorship comes from; Northside Service, Nalett
Trucking, Renewal Technologies, Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil, Velocity
